About Worthing

Advertisements

Situated amid some of the finest countryside the south of England has to offer, the coastal town of Worthing has all the ingredients for that traditional seaside experience - sun (sometimes!), sea, sand, fish and chips, even beach-huts.

Being, as it is, on the coast, there is a wide range of water-sports to choose from - anything from sailing to kite-surfing - or you could simply lie on the beach and watch the world go by.

Worthing also has a plethora of open spaces and wooded areas to relax in, the sheer horticultural variety of Highdown or Denton ornamental gardens are a particular draw for visitors, as is the popular local golf course.

Full of interesting artifacts and centrally located, the Worthing Museum and Gallery is well worth a visit - it plots the town's history via Saxons and Romans back to its Stone Age fishing village roots, as well as highlighting the best of local art.

Worthing's three main theatres - The Connaught, The Pavilion and The Assembly Hall - alongside smaller local venues, offer a wide range of music, drama and cinema all year round; there really is something for all the family to enjoy, from fairy-tales to gritty realism.

Just north of the town is one of the region's most spectacular sights: the remains of the largest Iron-Age hill-fort in Britain, the Cissbury Ring, which offers views over Worthing to the sea and is home to a myriad of rare flora and fauna.

Worthing is easily accessible by road and rail from London and surrounding towns, and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports are a stone's throw away, as are many of the south coast's ferry ports.
